Robert is out on holiday for a couple of weeks, so I've taken the
liberty of updating the impact section.  I think it's right, but please
let me know if you need more info.


** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  In the same way as apturl is set as the default apt: URL handler, we should 
do the same for GNOME Software with the snap: URL.
+ 
+ The prime impact for users will be support for snap:// URLs in the
+ browser.  This will allow web sites to provide a "click here to install
+ this snap...." type links which will take the user in to Ubuntu Software
+ where the snap will be preselected. e.g.
+ http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02/snap-url-support-coming-ubuntu-
+ software-app-plus-love-news  (link towards the bottom as an example of
+ the sorts of things websites will be able to do).
+ 
  
  [Test Case]
  Run:
  $ xdg-open snap:moon-buggy
  
  Expected result:
  GNOME Software opens with information on the moon-buggy snap
  
  Observed result:
  Get error about "specified location not supported"
  
  [Regression Potential]
  Low, we set a default where there was previously none.
